#26 Making Change Through Advocacy, Action and Insects With Astro Adara
17-year-old Adara Hagman is an explorer by nature and her intellectual curiosities have helped her to create mentoring start-ups, get grants from the Canadian government, give presentations on genetic engineering and have cricket protein bars on her desk.
We chat about how she has partnered with organisations like IBM to work on the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and how she is empowering more youth to feel like they can make a difference in reaching these ambitious goals for humanity.
You can connect with Adara on Twitter and LinkedIn or visit her website and blog where she has resources for circular design, talk recommendations and more.
Her recommended Slack group for climate action is Work on Climate\xa0 and she is also a member of The Knowledge Society.
